UnitedHealth Group’s decision not to renew its lease in Edina last March told a story about the larger office market: Employers favor new space over older space and shifting office environments in a way that requires fewer square feet.

The 104,000-square-foot Park West Business Center in Brooklyn Park sold for $11.75 million to a legal entity related to the Kapolei, Hawaii-based James Campbell Co., according to a certificate of real estate value filed Friday in Hennepin County.

A year after it was shuttered in a round of corporate cost-cutting, the former Best Buy store in Brooklyn Center is set to become the second Twin Cities location of Restaurant Depot, a national restaurant supply wholesaler.

Amid tumultuous changes to its business, Richfield-based Best Buy Co. Inc. continues to try to lease unoccupied space at the company’s large corporate campus. The company has never fully occupied the four-building 1.45-million-square-foot campus that was completed in 2003.
